Will Jon Stewart Destroy Cramer's "Career"

[bigarrow]

Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

What did stocks and real estate do the first two years of Clinton before the GOP took control of Congress?

What happened to the unemployment rate after 8 years of Bush? What happened to the financial institutions after 8 years of Bush's administration management? How has the SEC done under the Bush leadership. Is America better off today than we were 8 years ago?

Quote from Illum:

You do realize Jfk was a Democrat?

Ummm Duh.

I was just pointing out a small fact that a lot of people on the left and right forget about (People usually only bring up the bay of pigs invasion when it comes to JFK)

The markets began to crash a few months after Pelosi and Harry Reid took over Congress, which has more real power than the President.

The markets rose throughout most of the Bush administration, nobody was complaining in late 2006.

I am SOOOOOO going to tune in to watch Cramer vs. Stewart, or as I will refer to it, "Dumb vs. Dumber."

I am already praying and hoping that their meeting escalates into fight that culminates in a bloodbath with both of them dead on the floor at the end. Ahhhhhh, what a wonderful world that would be.

Every day I am reminded that I watch CNBC all day when Cramer comes on and I scramble for the OFF button, he is a jackass that deserves everything his fellow jackass Stewart is throwing at him.

Quote from flytiger:

If Cramer had kept his mouth shut (right) and let this go, he might have been able to bullshit his way thru this minefield . As it is, he looks as hapless as Stan Laurel in a Silent short. And he's going to go on live tomorrow night? Bad advice. You can't beat a professional comic. Ask any heckler. Enjoy. Because this has already gotten 200,000 hits at CC

Okay, no one takes Cramer or CNBC seriously. If you do, then you're an idiot. It's bad jokes, a little soft porn and a lot of people talking their books. But, I don't watch much TV. Honestly. Who is the Joe Scarborough asshole on this video? And who is that absolutely mute, fake woman sitting next to him. And -- and this really killed -- did I spy, for a split-second, the master-fabricator, the white Jayson Blair, Mike Barnacle! Sitting on this panel! Wow, what a rogue's gallery!

Quote from runningman:


You'll learn a few things. The "Leftests" did not make banks take on WAY too much leverage. The "Leftests" did not make people take out mortgages they could not repay. The "Leftests" did not make anyone do LBOs that couldn't possibly work. It was a greed/overleveraging problem, don't put a political spin on it.

Exactly. What the leftists did was pass the Community Reinvestment Act, which mandated, amongst other things, higher percentages of home ownership, higher percentages of ownership in certain areas, even if the qualifications of the borrower were questionable.

No one required the hedge funds to overleverage these loans, as you said. But let's not give the "leftists" a free pass here. Without them, the qualifications of some of these borrowers would have never sunk to the level that they did.

Quote from Lucrum:

You mean wars like WWI (Woodrow Wilson - Democrat), WWII (Franklin D. Roosevelt - Democrat), Korean war (Harry S. Truman - Democrat), Cuban Missile Crisis,not a war but very nearly the end of the world (JFK - Democrat) or maybe the Vietnam war started by Lyndon B. Johnson, you guessed it yet another Democrat.


Has a democrat been at the helm for every US war? No, just most of them.

Don't they offer any history classes at your school?

Remember the famous words of Dean Vernon Wormer. "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son."

Thanks for outlining the most extreme spending habits of the Republicans. How come Democrats starts wars, yet budget deficits only soar when republicans are in office? Looks like the republicans are the ones maxed on credit while the democrats are living within their means. Don't bailout the republicans!

You said republicans start wars, hence my history lesson to you.

Quote from eminitrader007:

Stewart and Colbert win awards for doing fake news and Fox News does not even get nominated.

Fox News doesn't get nominated for anything because they support idiots like Karl Rove who come on their station and make absurd claims, like how the Obama Administration is assuming 5-6% GDP growth for 2010 . . .

And instead of questioning such erroneous claims, Fox News just laps it all up.

Get real people.
